Understanding

Why move to a room booking software?

What is a room booking software?

A meeting and conference room booking software is a SaaS solution that centralizes slot scheduling and availability. It replaces spreadsheets and email chains, lets every employee see in real time which spaces are free, syncs with the company calendars and eliminates slot conflicts. It suits large and small organizations alike.

  • Centralized SaaS: 100% online, nothing to install
  • Calendar sync: Outlook and Google Calendar
  • Automatic release: the room is freed if nobody shows up

The hidden cost

Disorganized rooms come with a price

57.2%

of meetings judged unproductive

50-75%

of desks unoccupied on average

€2.3M/year

average cost of disorganization

57.2% of employees judge meetings barely or not productive. Behind that figure sit wasted time and wasted resources. Ghost bookings clutter the calendar: an employee books a space then never comes, generating a very real hidden bill for the company. A booking system removes that friction.

How it works

How does a room booking software work?

The booking process with E-CLICK follows a simple flow, end to end. The timeline below shows the five steps, a full cycle that runs in under a minute.

From request to released room: the E-CLICK process in 5 steps

A full cycle that runs in under a minute

1

Step 1

Spotting the need

An employee needs a room: a project meeting, a one-to-one, a short training session. They check availability from the mobile app, from their computer or straight from the door display.

From any device
2

Step 2

Checking availability in real time

E-CLICK shows every available room with its equipment (capacity, video, video conferencing). No duplicate listing, no possible conflict: the sync with Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar is instant.

Step 3

Booking confirmed in one click

The employee picks the slot, selects the participants and confirms. The booking is saved at the same time in their own calendar and in the room management system.

Under 60 seconds

Step 4

Digital signage on the door display

The E-CLICK display outside the room shows in real time: room occupied, next booking, time remaining. The end of sticky notes and last-minute conflicts on the ground.

Step 5

Automatic release if the room stays empty

Nobody turned up? E-CLICK releases the room automatically once the configured delay has passed. The space becomes available again straight away for someone else. Ghost bookings are a thing of the past.

Zero no-shows, zero blocked rooms

This automatic release mechanism brings the no-show rate down to 4.8% after three months, which is +350 hours recovered every month. Setting it up takes just a few days.

Integrations

Connected to your Outlook and Google Calendar

A booking software is only adopted if it talks to your teams’ calendar. So booking happens where they already work — and shows up everywhere else.

Integrations with your calendars (Outlook, Google Calendar)

E-CLICK syncs with Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar: your teams keep working in the calendar they know. Every request generates an automatic invitation to the participants; cancellations are reflected in real time, in the calendars as well as on the door display. In practice, the average booking time drops by 70% compared with a manual process.

  • Microsoft Outlook — work and personal accounts, via Microsoft 365 or Exchange
  • Google Calendar — connected through the API, both ways
  • Automatic invitations to participants
  • Native weekly and monthly recurrences

Real-time display outside the room: the EMITY difference

E-CLICK goes further than a simple scheduling software. A touch device installed outside each room shows the status and the day’s schedule in real time. Your teams can see at a glance whether the room is free, without opening their laptop.

  • Touch screen: real-time status outside the room
  • Immediate visibility: free or occupied
  • Automatic release: configurable grace period

Advantages

What a booking system changes for your productivity

Did you know? A booking system with automatic release brought the no-show rate down to 4.8% in three months, which is +350 hours recovered every month.

FAQ

Your questions about room booking

Assess the calendar integrations (Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar), whether a door display is available and whether there is a free trial. Check data security and the level of support.

It removes slot conflicts and ghost bookings, improves productivity and reveals the real occupancy rate of your spaces through precise analysis.

The employee checks availability in real time from the app or their calendar, then books in a few clicks. If the room stays empty beyond the configured delay, the slot is released automatically.

Prioritize calendar sync, automatic release of unoccupied spaces and multi-channel access (web, mobile, door display). Occupancy analysis modules and rules configurable per room matter too.

The connection runs through the Google Calendar API: every slot appears automatically in the employee’s calendar and the other way round. The Microsoft Outlook integration works the same way, via Microsoft 365 or Exchange.

The market budget sits between €2 and €15 per user per month. E-CLICK is included in EMITY’s Excellence plan; a tailored quote is prepared based on the number of screens and rooms, with a 3-month free trial.
